Training for London or for another sping marathon? Or maybe you are training for just half that distance. Either way, you can follow one of Clive Horton's marathon and half-marathon training schedules. At the core of each marathon schedule is a long run starting at the Jag Club on Sunday mornings at 9am. You can contact Clive by email at runadvisor@northbrookac.org.uk to let him know your interest and to get your personal plan.

Northbrook Awards Night

Veteran Club athlete Jack Langman presented the awards at Northbrook's Annual Awards Night on 21 January. A glittering evening thanks particularly to those who sparkled in their bronze, silver or gold. To complement the many worthy award winners, there was a presidential DVD, super singing from Kevin, some interesting dancing, scrumptious hot food and of course a top quality Bob speech.
Winners of the best outfit prize were Joe and Kay Kelly (pictured). All in all a great success, and work has already begun to make next years even better.
